from Eric Engels of Sportsnet,

It might have been the strongest game Subban had played in over a month, but that was of no consolation to him.

“I couldn’t give a s*** about my f****** first goal in however long,” he said. “It doesn’t f****** matter.”

Canadiens captain Max Pacioretty, who threw around some foul language after a 6-2 loss to the Dallas Stars that kicked off a 2-6-0 road trip from Dec. 19 – Jan. 5, stopped mid-sentence to peer over a scrum of reporters to listen in on what Subban had to say.

Pacioretty delivered his comments in a cooler tone.

“It’s frustrating to lose a game today,” said Pacioretty. “We gotta score more than one goal to win the game.”

The Canadiens have only won two of 18 games in which they’ve scored two or less.

This is a team that led the NHL in scoring through their first 20 games, a team that was scoring three or more goals on a regular basis. It’s a team that has now been held to three or less goals in 15 of their last 19 games.
